Alcohol believed to be factor in minivan that drove entirely inside a Battle Creek home

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. – A 30-year-old man from Grand Rapids was arrested early Friday morning after reportedly driving a speeding minivan inside a Battle Creek home.

According to authorities, police received a 911 call just before the crash, reporting a speeding minivan that was ignoring stop signs and red lights.
